A still further objeet of the invention is to .In accordance 'Vl-71th this nlenton I pro-Vi I Provide an improved cigar and Cigarette gl a bodylortlony 1.5 which imams the 90 i holder of the above character, which will be ,d-s qooggt tlc g. gltf ga?? an emcleflt m usevf 011;@ that gu bg any'vdesirr'edniaterial and is in the natureof a P an easy 0 man a@ rev an one sleeve or cylinderand the body 'Gradually which can be placed upon the market at a tapers toward its rear end, Theboppost'e IGaSQIlble COS- ends of the body is provided with'internal With these and other obJects in view, .the shoulders or rings 16 and 17. When the body invention consists in the novel construction, is in its normal extended positionron the arrangement and formation of parts, asl will stem or bit 10 the shoulder or ring 16 abuts ybe hereinafter more specifically described, the stop shoulder 13. At this point it is to in be noted that the interior diameter of the forward stop `shoulder or ring is greater than the shoulder or flange 12 on the stem whereby the body can be slipped ofi of the stem rearward over the said shoulder or Hange 12. Also the mouth-piece 11 is of less diameter than both the shoulders 1 6 and 1.7, whereby the body can be slipped over said mouthpiece. This allows the assembling of the parts relative to one another.

The cylindrical body 15 forms a housing for the reception of an expansion coil spring 18, which can be of a comparatively light nature. The convulsions of the expansion coil spring grow less in diameter toward the inner end thereof and the convulsions of the spring form means for receiving different sizes of cigars or cigarettes,

In assembling the device, the body is slipped on the stem or bit 10 from the mouthpiece and thereof, until the shoulder or ring 16 abuts the shoulder 13 on the stem after which the spring 1S is inserted within the sleeve or cylindrical shaped body 15 by coiling the spring and when the spring is fully inserted in the body the spring is released and the outermost convulsion will seat against the shoulder 17 and the innermost convulsion will seat against the flange or vcollar 12.v e

Thus at this point, itis ,to be noted that the spring forms a three-fold function, rst, for the holding the body 15 in an extended cigar or cigarette receiving position; second, for

.e permitting the retracting of the body on the stem for ejecting a cigarette or cigar butt; and third, for holding the parts in lanassembled position. v

it is desired to use Ythe holder, the elgar or cigarette is inserted within the body 15 in to frictional Contact with 4one or more convulsions of the spring. After the cigar or cigarette has been smoked, it is merely necessary to move `the stem or bit and the sleeve 15 toward one another and the cigar o r cio'arette butt will be lau-,tomatically eJected from the holder.

.departing from lthe spirit or the scope of this invention, but

Wha-t I claim as new is v 1. A cigarand cigarette holder comprising an elongated stem portion having a stop shoulder at its forward end, a cylindrical body portion slidably mounted upon the stem having a stop shoulder on its inner end for engaging lthe stop shoulder on the stem, a stop yshoulder von the outer end of the body portion Iof greater diameter than the shouldcr onthe stem, and an expansion coil spring arranged in :the body seated against ythe shoulder 4'onthe .outer end of the body portion and against the outer end of the stem whereby :the body y,portion v.and stem portion are lheld infassernbled .position-relative to one Changes in details may be made without `diameter of the shoulder on the body being greater than the diameter of the mouth-piece,

a stop shoulder on the outer end of the body of greater diameter than the diameter of the shoulder on the mouth-piece, and an expansion spring 'housed within said body engage: ing the shoulder on the outer end of the body and the outer end of the stem whereby the stem and body will be heldin an assembled position relative to one another and normally in an extended operative condition.

3. A cigar and cigarette holder comprising an elongated stem having a mouth-piece at its inner end and an annular stop shoulder at its outer end, a `cylindrical body portion slidably mount-ed on the stem having a shoulder on its inner end engaging theA shoulder on the outer end of the stem, a stop shoulder on the outer end of the body, and an ex`pansion spring housed in said body engaging the outer end of the stem and the shoulder on the outer end of said body, said expansion spring being of the coil type and having thc convulsions thereof lessening in diameter toward the inner end thereof for receiving cigars and cigarettes of different diameters.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
